Esperino - Already sitting pretty at the pinnacle of virtual basketball, you'd have to wonder where the series can go as the next generation of consoles loom just upon the horizon.
I had my questions swiftly answered this week when I was given an opportunity to preview NBA 2K14 on the Playstation 4, putting to rest any doubts the dominating series may have run out of fresh legs.
So NBA 2K14 won’t be joining us in 2016
Its ok I hated 2k14 it was complete ass. 2k16 is miles better you'd be doing yourself a disservice sticking with that old shit.
I think it's pretty sad when they do this to a two year game. But I suppose, when they make yearly releases it's to be expected. But, there are games that still have servers up. I know it's not nearly the same, but I can still play Call of Duty 2 on the 360 online and there is still some people playing. That came out in 2005. A 10 year old game is still active with the sequels also active.
I would welcome a future where sports games just released new updates/add-ons instead of releasing new games each year. Just upgrade the graphics and so on and release a new game every few years maybe.
Realistically, there probably were not enough people playing 2k14 to justify keeping the servers running. It's more practical to repurpose those servers for the newer games that more people play. I'm sure the vast majority of sports gamers moved on to 2k15 or 2k16.
FIBA 2K14 is a full conversion mod for NBA 2K14 PC, featuring international basketball teams that participated in 2015 FIBA, 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2013 FIBA.
Ultimate Base Roster is a full expansion mod for NBA 2K14 PC. It allows you to play almost 300 teams from 60 different NBA seasons from the 70's all the way through the present. Current roster is accurate as of June 18, 2015.
It's hard not to get excited about this title...especially after seeing the video attached to the article. That was just amazing.
It plays beautifully. I don't think I could have anticipated just how good the next-gen version would be.
I play NBA 2K14 almost every day at the moment and the step up is such a HUGE leap forward, but at the same time seamless enough that you'll be able to get stuck in from the get go.
